This is the extremely rare CPCP (Collection Prive Cartier Paris) Tank Basculante in Platinum and Rose Gold reference 2500E. This reference features a see through case back where one can appreciate the beautiful and ultra-slim manually winding Frederique Piguet 6.10 (Cartier 060MC). It is a strictly numbered limited edition and only 100 pieces were produced by the maison. The dial of the watch is wonderfully executed with all the collector favorite CPCP dial code present including a subtle guilloché pattern dial, central rosette motif, black painted Roman numerals, the chemin-de-fer minute track, and the beautiful flame-blued steel hands.
Overall, this Tank Basculante is in excellent condition. The case likely has never been polished with all the hallmarks and engravings clearly visible and crisp. The dial is also in great condition without any blemishes. The watch comes with a custom made epsom calf strap from Molequin as well as its original white gold Cartier deployant clasp. The set also includes the mahogany wood and red leather CPCP box.
